I recently discovered that putting paperclips onto a binder ring keeps them from getting jumbled up and keeps them together by type and also ironically makes them easier to use,in spite of having to open the ring to get one off. I'll never store them in a jumbled heap again.. lol. I find they take up less space that way too. Hope that helps. Tfs
Great ideas, Donna. Your labels are great. I recently got the Joy Xtra to add to my Cricut Explore Air 2 & Maker 3 machines and love them all. I use adhesive vinyl scraps to make labels for my drawers, and use elastic hair ties as cable ties for all my cords, and store them in old plastic packaging I got donuts etc in. A toothpaste squeezer is perfect for getting every last drop of E6000, Super Glue Gel etc out the tubes. I use 1" circles cut on sticker paper to put on paint lids and colour that with the paint. I use old revolving spice jars for all my Glitter, Fake Snow etc. Empty Chewing Gum Containers are great for storing googly eyes [I have one on lid so I know what size goes in what tub when restocking] 2024 charms etc, and they don't take up a lot of space. Have a good and safe week. Hugs 🤗across the pond from Scotland, UK💕
Oh wow!! Lots of great ideas!! Thank you so much for sharing 😃 Isn't the Joy xTra a great little machine?!? I am loving it!! Thanks so much for watching and sharing with me. Take care 💖🤗
I love your idea for creating the separations for the tin. The only change I will make is that I will make the separators about an inch shorter than the tin. Everything will still be nicely separated, but a little bit easier to grab.
Great ideas Donna , i use the magnetic sheets for my dies as well but i use cereal boxes , boxes from freezer food packages to back my magnetic sheets & it's worked for years. Thank you for sharing Donna.
I thought about using those, but since I wanted to add samples to the back, I wanted a white background. Great idea though, very sturdy and affordable 😉 Thanks so much for watching and for sharing Bevey. Have a wonderful week 💕🤗
Some great tips. Ive been at this for quite some time. I started with my dies in binders like yours. Eventually they got too heavy, I was using 3" binders. I eventually moved them into magnetic storage cases. All but those that had matching stamp sets, those get stored with the stamp set. I use VHS and DVD (tall) cases for stamps. Those with matching dies, I glue a magnet in the case so they are together. Of all my storage I am happiest with my stamps.
The CD cases are a great idea!! I don't have too many dies, so I am hoping the binder will work for me 🤞 Thanks so much for watching and sharing your ideas. Take care 💖🤗
Good ideas! I store my dies on they magnet sheets , I put them on separate cardboard then put them back to back ( not glued together) , rounding the corners makes them easier to get in and out of the small mesh zipped bags and number each side of the magnetic sheet with the dies on as in 1a 1b then have an die inventory book of white die cuts stuck on black card . I find it so easy to find a die 💜It works a treat
Sounds awesome!! Do you have your die sets and samples labeled so you know what goes with what? I need to round my corners to see if I can get my cardstock to fit more easily. Thanks so much for watching and sharing. Take care 💖🤗
I store my dies on the wall attached to vent magnetic sheets. This way I can see them all without having to flip through a binder. I have them sorted into categories -Christmas, flowers, Happy Birthday, Etc. The vent covers are 8in x 14 1/2 in.
I love your ideas for using attractive containers for storage. I have old cigar boxes frm my parents, old country general store. On my desk I have a wooden picnic utensil apkin holder for pens, rulers, scissors, glue, and in general, things I use on a regular basis.
Great ideas Donna. I have some old wood boxes I'm going to pull out and see if I can organize some of my tiny images for collage! Thanks for the inspiration. 🩷🩷🩷
I use the magnetic sheets for my dies and I use thicker cardboard behind the magnetic sheets, and I round the corners so that they slip into the sleeves easier
Also helps if you cut a sliver off one side of the card, so it's not a squeeze. For my smaller dies, I have some old-fashioned flip-up style photo albums - like a giant credit card holder. Each pocket is 5x7", so I can sort the dies into very specific groupings, with paper (usually the back of junk mail) on which I outline the dies, cereal packet card behind the magnet, and space behind that for (one or two) die cuts. The albums have pockets on both sides, so I cut out the spine to make 2 units. I have also made trays for them, so I don't wear out the album back sliding them in and out of the shelves. Each one takes up about 2.5" height, the tray is 14" x 8". I luckily found a nice shelving unit for them!
Lots of excellent ids. I have wooden boxes and I'm going to see what I can do with them all. Your last video you showed putting your spools of thread in a wooden box. I have a box with dividers in it and it worked perfect for my spools of thread and it keeps them all clean. 😃Take care and God Bless y'all always
i seen a video the other day for those die cuts, a lady framed the magnet boards, the die cuts became easy access and decor , if i could remember the name i'd share but can't at the moment. i can say it looked beautiful, depending on your available wall space you could find nice cheap frames at thrift store and create unique useable art
Ya, I've seen that before. It's a great idea, but I definitely don't have room for something like that!! Plus, I like my die sets to be tucked away, I don't use them that often 😉 Thanks for sharing that idea. It will help others for sure!! Thanks for watching 💖
That tin for pens is exactly what I need to make! I lead Bible study and someone always needs a writing utensil, which I can never find quickly. Thanks for the great ideas!
Yes, I had thought of that, but I wanted the paper to be white so my samples would show well. But that is an excellent idea.😉 Thanks so much for watching and for your suggestion. Take care 💖
Hi Donna, I just found your channel today and loved this video! It is taking me years to get my drum organized the way I want it! But I love a lot of the ideas you showed today! I saw you using the cricket joy extra with your phone. I’ve always wanted to get the cricket joy, but now I see this cricket, extra and see that you can use it with your phone, that’s awesome!! I’m just wondering if it’s really complicated to use?? I am a lot older and I am not really a computer girl. I have the scan and cut and love that and I still have the very first cricket. They came out with many many years ago in love that! Do you have a lot of videos on how to use this new cricket extra? Do you think you really need to have both the cricket joy and the cricket extra? I know the cricket joy can print out long words. But that’s about all I know about the joy. I would love your honest advice on your thoughts about these machines and if you think that they would be too complicating for an older woman like me?? Thank you so much!😊🩷👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Elizabeth. The Cricut Joy Xtra is newer to me. I'm still learning about it, but I am loving this machine. It can do so much more than the original Joy. I have both machines and prefer the Joy Xtra. It can print and cut, the original Joy can't. It can cut larger images as well. You can use all the machines through the app on any device. I prefer to do most of the work on my computer, then switch to the app. Both the Joy and Joy Xtra are wireless, so you'll need to connect via Bluetooth. I think if you have a scan n' cut, you should be able to use the Joy xTra. I have never used a scan n' cut, so I don't know for sure!! I don't have any beginner videos as of right now, but there are lots on UA-cam. I hope this helps. Please feel free to ask me any other questions. I will do my best to help you out 😉 Let me know what you decide. Thanks so much for watching. Happy crafting 💖 🤗💐
That is the same thing happened here with your box. But instead of the box, it was my dad’s pants. My mom donated them to a thrift store and later dad found them, thinking that they would be a good pair without realizing that they were his. So he brought them.
Hello, J adore les boîtes en bois pour ranger et protéger les petits articles de scrapbooking c'est top, d'ailleurs mon mari vient de m'en faire plusieurs tailles différentes ( c'est un très grand bricoleur et aime travailler le bois). Il m'a fait une malette pour ranger tous mes blocs acryliques en même temps il m'en a fait en plus et de tailles que tu ne trouves pas dans le commerce. Une autre avec les couleurs que j'utilise le plus et deux autres pour mon bullet et ses accessoires et une dernière pour les petites chutes qui peuvent m'être utile dans un projet. Pour ta belle boîte en métal ( c'est une boîte à biscuits) j'aurais mis les scotchs doubles faces ou les tubes de colle. Les crayons et stylos sont mieux dans des vielles tasses ou verre comme ils sont visibles tu les utilise plus. Alors que la colle scotchs tout est regroupé. Bisous
Sounds like you have a great system!! I love my divided tin, it's been great for my pen/pencil storage. I also use glass jars. The combination of storage makes it fun for me!! My ideas are only suggestions. I encourage you to do what works for you 😉 Thanks so much for watching and sharing. Take care 💖
If you have labels on cans and plastics that don't want to come off, heat them with a hair dryer and that loosens the glue enough so you can just peel them off.
by adding cardboard inside the biscuit tin at th beginning u are actually using some of the space up. i would of kept the inside of the it as it was and just decorated the outside if need be.
Well it really depends on your needs. It's been perfect for how I'm using it 😉. But if you want to keep something larger inside, than I would adjust accordingly. These are just ideas on different ways you can use items for storage 😊 Thanks so much for watching. Have a wonderful day.
I was already doing that, I was getting frustrated. I was having a hard time finding what I wanted and the sheets were sticking to each other. It can definitely work though. 😉 Thanks again for watching 💖
I have both the Cricut Joy and Cricut Joy Xtra. The regular Joy is great for making labels, but my new favourite is the Joy Xtra. You can cut larger items, print and cut, and it's still a compact machine that doesn't require a bunch of cords. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching 🤗
Bella l'idea della calamita x fustelle, x il resto io ho provato a mettere in contenitori di latta , legno ecc... ma poco dopo se non sono trasparenti non mi ricordo più cosa contengono, quindi preferisco scatole trasparenti
Yes, I understand. There a lot of people that like the supplies visible 😉 Doing what works for you is the best!! 😃😃 Thank you so much for watching and sharing with me. Take care 💖
I'm kind of curious about something I see this a lot in different organization videos and sometimes I wonder if it's just a little overkill and I'm not meaning to sound critical in any way for example the little pencil sharpener if you're putting all the items into the crate so to speak and you just have that in there lose wouldn't it be easier and quicker to not have to open another container in order to access it and if it's already in a crate then why would it get lost? For me organization for things to stay that way they need to be easy and practical for me to use if I'm having to take two to three steps just to sharpen a pencil most likely I'm not going to put that away just because when I'm in a crafting frenzy I'm not real disciplined like that I call it creative chaos so to speak anyway just some food for thought if it works for you great if you're concerned about it getting lost within the box then perhaps another small container like you did with the small crates but something even smaller like a little say portion cup or something like that that you just toss it in but yet leave a lid off of it But that way it stays contained within the area
I think you hit the nail on the head!! You need to do what works best for you 😉 We're all just sharing what works for us. I have shared in a previous video what didn't work for me, I don't think we do that enough 🤪lol. Like you said, you know how you operate in your craft space. I now how I operate in mine, and having that little pencil sharpener in it's own little container is preventing me from loosing it in my craft space. I was tired of digging around for it and loosing it (I've had to buy new ones). It may seem odd to some, but it works for me 😉 I truly appreciate your feed back. I hope I was able to answer in a way that makes sense 🤗 Thanks so much for watching. Take care 💖

I use the earth magnet strips from harbor freight for my dies. I like to see mine because I tend to forget what I have so they work for me.
I really like to wood box with the Dollar Tree trays. I'm going to look for a box in my craft room to recreate it!
You always have great ideas for storage and organization. These were really good Donna! 🥰🤗
Aw, thanks Lisa Marie 💕 I really appreciate it 😉
Thanks so much for watching my friend. I hope you have a wonderful weekend 💗
